To all whom it may concern: H are another series of delivery-tapes, which Be it known that I, SAMUEL G. GOSS, residrun over the rollers e (Z f g, of which there are ing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and six.

In Fig. 1, to prevent confusion, I have not shown the forward end of the half-sheet, which is marked R; In this figure the transfer-guide is a little largerin proportion to the size of the sheets shown than it ought to be. Of course this transfer-guide must be of such size that the half-sheet will be brought to the large sheet at the proper moment. After the half-sheet passes the roller cl it goes in between the forward extension a of the guide J and the tapes M, and this extension a of the guide aids in guiding the sheet to the main part of the transfer-guide.

. WVhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is as follows:

In a printing-press delivery apparatus, the combination, with the traveling deliverytapes G, H, and I, of the bar-support j, the

oblique transfer-guide J, composed of a sheet bent int-o circular form, having its end portions connected to the bar-support and one portion extending in an inclined plane past and beneath said bar-support to a point at or near the delivery part of the tapes G to form a guide end for the advancing paper, and the transfei tapes M, traveling under the tapes G, and also under the guide end of the transferguide and round the latter, substantially as described.
